Abstract

This article explores the ways in which migration affects the migrant’s sense of belonging to the national-cultural group on the basis of an autobiographical essay by the Greek-Swedish writer Theodor Kallifatides. The study is based on analyses of the feeling of belonging to the group from contemporary phenomenology. Despite their great interest, these studies focus either on affective episodes that are too circumscribed in time, or on background affective orientations with outlines that are too vague to capture the specificity of the phenomenon under investigation. Drawing on Kallifatides’ text, this article outlines some specific elements of the sense of belonging that are reconfigured in migration, pointing to the roles played by recognition and narrative identity, and highlighting the nuances, gradations and malleability of this feeling.
